Lorn cries out to The Lost to find cover from the archer. Seeing the scorpion hiding in the shadows of the wrecked ship he takes action. A quick gesture of his staff and the shadows come alive grasping at the scorpion, the creature screeches as the shadows cloud it's thoughts.

The mage draws upon his own reserves of energy, he strides forward. A sharp snap of his staff sends an echo of thunder reverbrating along the beach. The creature's legs snap off where it attaches at the body from the force.

Hesh is okay, but shoots a glare at the wizard. Lorn nods and follows up the thunder wave with another spell. The forked end of his staff glows blue, as the mage raises the implement over his shoulder. In one motion he brings the staff across his body and the glowing energy releases, it crashes against the face of the scorpion. The creature falls to the sand, electricity no longer arcing between the claws.

"NOOOO!" The archer cries, seeing a scorpion die as it lets loose another crossbow bolt at Hesh. This bolt catches the hobgoblin in the gut. The hobgoblin doubles over coughing up blood, but is still standing. Now clearly visible is stands on the deck of the ship, near the railing. It is a goblin. It's green skin the color of the sea in the failing light, it's hair is long and wild, but it's hand is steady.

Insight DC 15

The appearance of the goblin points that the creature has been here for a while. The eyes of the creature dart wildly back and forth. Clearly the creature is insane.

The scorpion shifts forward, it's pincers clicking, arcs of electricity darting between the tips. It lunges at the warforged, and grabs ahold of a wooden leg. Xandren struggles but can't escape the creature's grasp. Dark fluid drips down his leg and miniature bolts of lighting arc up his torso.

Sorry SG, there is a reason why you are being focused on. . I have maptools, but I can use excel at work, thus my choice.
Xandren takes 5 lightning damage at the beginning of his turn. The hp above already takes this into account.

Xandren tries to slip out of the grasp of the scorpion, but is unable to as the lightning surges up his leg. Grunting, the warforged then slams his sword now onto the scorpion, landing a grazing blow upside the creature's head.

Crap! Gotta take out that damned goblin! mutters Thormir. As he moves sideways towards the river banks, he tells the others: I'll try to take him alive... and his shape blurs as if made wavey by extreme heat.
The hammer in his left, Thormir makes a gesture like he was grasping something in the goblin's direction. A huge fiery hand lights up as if made of flame right behind the goblin and grasps him, burning him and attempting to drop him off the ship.
Then, with an afterthought, he points a finger at the scorpion and utters a few wrathful words in a forgotten tongue.

The scorpion's electric grasp sends waves of pain through Xandren. The warforged tries to pull away from the creature's grasp, but it's hold is tight. The scorpion's tail, dripping poison threatens the warforged as he attempts to pull away. Seeing the scorpion has him held for now, Xandren swipes out with his fullblade, but due to the proximity, it is only a glancing blow.

Thormir moves around the scorpion, his form shimmers from infernal power and makes a wicked claw motion with his hand. A black hand with burning red talons comes into existence behind the goblin. It grasps the pitiful creature, blackening his flesh. The hand attempts to pull the goblin from the ships deck, but it grabs the railing and keeps itself from falling to the sand. The dwarf spouts a few infernal words at the scorpion near him, cursing the creature, and speeding it's death from his power.

Maabet! You're gath'atcha! He sneers at the little goblin. Well, if you didn't like one being killed, you'll love it when we cave in the skull of the second. Think I'm lying! I've felled six assassins at the Fall of Saa'tak! I'm Hesh Sul'tashk, and YOU WILL PAY!

Goblin

Maabet: A very strong curse with no real translation. Gath'atcha: One w/o honor, a very strong insult.

His blood pumping from his own words, the hobgoblin casually strolls up to the scorpion, hardly defending himself. Hey, Little One! If thing gets out of line, use those arts of yours to teach it a lesson! With that, he puts everything into the swing, smashing it hard in the carapace!

Hesh curses out the prone goblin. The harshness of his words and the trust he has in himself pushes him onward, restoring some of his strength. He lashes out with his double flail and lands a crushing blow against the scorpion. It takes advantage of the opening that the hobgoblin leaves and strikes against him. It can potentially land a great blow that will nearly clip Hesh's arm off in it's claws. Unfortunately for the scorpion, both Xandren and Thormir get to strike back.

Xandren and Thormir

Both of you get to make a basic attack vs the scorpion. Xandren gets one due to his mark(+10, 1d12+4). If that doesn't drop the scorpion, then Thormir gets to make one as well(assuming EB; +7 vs reflex 1d10+5+1d6.).

Xandren takes a swing at the scorpion as it attempts to claw Hesh, but even if the swing lands, it's only a glancing blow.

Mechanics

Immediate interrupt - Combat Challenge Basic Attack against S1. My reading is that Combat Challenge, which is what is granting me this attack, is not technically an OA, so I do not get my Wisdom bonus to the attack, as I would with Combat Superiority.

ooc:the immediate interrupts from combat challenge are not,indeed,OAs(those are opportunity actions:you get one of them per enemy's turn, while you only get one immediate action per turn). And I think the scorpion's felled anyway, with 15 total dmg (5 from Xandren, 10 from Thormir)
